It is newleaf, and the clan's lands are flourishing. The sun has been out and about, keeping everything warm, and at the same time there are frequent rains. Not so many as to create a flood, but enough to keep the plants lush and the prey plentiful.

—Ivypaw nodded, eyes gazing happily up at the sky. "The gathering..." She murmured, hardly able to contain her eagerness to just run over to Snowfeather and shout loudly, 'Wake up! Now! It's the gathering day!' The apprentice beamed and laughed at the strange wish.

Lithepaw grinned, standing and doing a small prance. “Boring or not, it’s my first time.” Lithepaw then looked back up to the sky. “I’d best go to sleep now. Good… morning, guys.” Her eyes shone with mirth at her own unintended pun. She was just so excited! But then she began to wonder who she would sit next to at the Gathering, and what she should do. Making friends with other Clans seemed first priority, of course, but how would she make friends? After all, Lithepaw was really quite shy. Even though she hated missing opportunities to make friends, she was awkward around new cats.

—Rookpaw smiled rather lazily and flipped onto his back again. "You'd do anything to get your way, wouldn't you?" he remarked, addressing Lithepaw. "You'd probably stampede StarClan to be able to get to sleep."

Lithepaw purred. “… More or less. Besides, I’d zone off in my training with Ripplestar.” Her emerald green eyes brightened and she straightened, tail tip just brushing the ground. She could barely resist doing a small impromptu dance on the spot. She was always awed of Ripplestar. She knew, for sure, that she would do her best to impress the leader. “But seeing as it’s morning already, I don’t see what’s the point of sleeping anymore. Let’s wake everyone up!” Lithepaw’s eyes shone with excitement. She wasn’t really very outgoing, but that wouldn’t matter; with her friends she didn’t need to do much talking. She could just sit there, occasionally inserting comments, enjoying her friends’ presences.

—The dark blue apprentice suddenly smiled rather wickedly and bounced onto his feet. "Good idea," he meowed, eyes flashing with mischief. He swept into a mock bow. "You can take the apprentices, and I'll wake the warriors." Rookpaw straightened and snorted. "The warriors will be so humiliated to be woken up by an apprentice. Usually it's them who wakes us up."

“Okay!” Lithepaw agreed, pale yellow fur bristling with excitement. With a spring in her step, Lithepaw darted into the apprentices’ den, tail held stiffly upright with her happiness. She opened her mouth to yowl out a ‘good morning, rise and shine’ when she realised that, being herself, she really didn’t want to be the target of the other apprentices’ grumpy morning selves. So instead she called moderately, “RiverClan! Wake up, it is the day of the Gathering.” At once she leaped from the den and padded toward the fresh kill pile. May as well take and eat before hunting.

—Ivypaw tipped her head, still sort of unsure. "Well - should I wake up Snowfeather, then...?" She asked, voice soft as she wondered what the ramifications of such a disastrous ploy would be. The medicine cat was rather grumpy sometimes, but...

The apprentice shrugged mentally and meowed, "Or shall I give the elders a wake up call?" The silver tabby knew that Ripplestar wouldn't be too happy about these small pranks, but... it was the Gathering day! The consequences couldn't be that bad ... right?

—Rookpaw gave Ivypaw a wink. "I don't think they'll be too pleased, but do what you like," he meowed, eyes twinkling in mischief. He padded away to the warriors' den, then leaped inside. "Rise and shine, lazybones!" he sang out triumphantly. "Isn't the dawn patrol leaving soon? Hmm?" The handsome young tom laughed good-naturedly and bounced outside before any of them could catch him.

Ivypaw.Keeping secret safe, every move we make,seems like no one's giving up...And it's such a shame, 'cause if you feel the same,how am I supposed to know?Because I knew you... I have been changed, for good~

—Ivypaw nodded, beaming brightly at his sly wink. Glancing at the choice of dens available to her, she took a deep breath and headed towards the medicine den, once again inhaling the scent of the familiar herbs, bathing herself in nostalgic smells, giving herself fond memories. Shaking her head, the medicine apprentice meowed softly, though close to her mentor's ear, "Ah ... S-snowfeather? Isn't it the medicine gathering day?" Her last three words were a lot louder than she'd intended, but the opening of the timid sentence were way too quiet.

Deciding it simply wouldn't do, the silver cat said a quick prayer to Starclan and an apology to the Riverclan medicine cat, Ivypaw mewed swiftly, "Snowfeather, wake up!"

Lithepaw padded quickly over to the two, emerald eyes shining. She offered a particularly large fish and an extra water vole. “I brought some prey,” she explained, scuffling the ground in an embarrassed motion with her paw. “It was meant for the three of us. Sorry, I don’t know what you guys prefer to eat.” She then took a small, sparing nibble at the fish and her taste buds twitched. She’d always loved to eat fish, but if the other two liked it then she wasn’t going to stop them from taking it. She shiftily angled her glance at the ground, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Suddenly, Lithepaw was aware of Ivypaw dashing over to the medicine cats’ den and her gaze up righted itself to the den. Her whiskers twitched slightly and her eyes shone with slight amusement. She wondered what Snowfeather would do; she was a rather dark-hearted she-cat.

—Rookpaw beamed. The air was putting him in a cheerful mood. "I'll take the water vole," he offered. "After being up for so long and not being used to it, I suppose it's only fair if you two share the fish." The apprentice offered a slight shrug. "I'm used to staying up all night."

—Ivypaw nudged Snowfeather gently before padding out, head bowed. "Didn't think I'd actually do that, did you two?" She meowed, her voice soft but the pride showing crystal-clear. Nodding at Rookpaw, she took a tiny bite out of the fish.

“Nope.” Lithepaw purred. “Thanks, Rookpaw.” She swiftly bent down and took a couple of bites from the large fish before swallowing, and backing away from it. “I’ve had my fill. I don’t really eat much.” She paused, before meowing hesitantly, pausing in places, “Why don’t we… go hunting sometime today? Together? You know. Just for fun.” It was at times like this that Lithepaw cursed her misfortune at being awkward. Being awkward wasn’t fun. Lithepaw sat down and began to groom her soft pale fur, privately thinking that she looked like a mess anyway even if she groomed it – why bother? Lithepaw’s eyes suddenly looked up, narrowing as her gaze fixed on Rookpaw. “That’s a rather small vole. Are you sure you don’t need to have some more?” She halted, then pointed at the fish with a forepaw. “I’m done with it. You and Ivypaw can share the fish when you’re done with the vole.” It was then that Lithepaw remembered a question that she’d had on the tip of her tongue for the entire night.

“Oh yes, and Rookpaw? Who is your mentor?”

—"If I were all shy, I wouldn't have suggested hunting at midnight, would I?" Ivypaw brought up the trip to the forest glade casually as she smiled secretly to herself at what she took for the first compliment ever from Rookpaw. The comment about him liking more ... outgoing she-cats didn't count, right?

Taking another tentative nibble of the large fish, she pondered the question desperately circling her mind - what would happen during the medicine gathering? Ivypaw looked at Lithepaw, eyes curious. A hunting trip? Well, it was obvious she wouldn't be invited - and she'd deny it, even if there was the chance. After all, she'd only slow them down - her poor hunting skills were ... horrifying. Absolutely terrible.

—Rookpaw shook his head. "Share it with somebody else... maybe." Then he brightened at the other apprentice's mention of hunting. "That would be fun."

Then upon mention of his mentor, his face darkened. "He disappeared... somehow," he meowed. "Name was Blackfur. And he just disappeared one day." He snorted. "Ripplestar still hasn't given me a new one."

He tilted his head and regarded Ivypaw with an interest. "You know, you shouldn't be too bad at hunting," he meowed, almost as though he was reading her mind. "You'll improve, I'm sure."

Lithepaw almost visibly shrank at Ivypaw’s questioning gaze. “For all of us,” she added in a tiny voice. “I mean, I know I’m a bad hunter but it’d be fun, with the three of us…” Suddenly Lithepaw sighed and straightened. “I should stop talking, shouldn’t I?” she mumbled to herself, eyes narrowed with irritation. Oh, what the heck. Nothing was to be lost if she shut her yap now. It wasn’t like cats were dying to hear her inept talk. Lithepaw almost snorted at that thought. ‘Inept’… what a strange word.

—"Pfft! Me, try hunting? Oh, no, we go together as well as ... about, well, soggy cheese and wet bread!" Shaking her head, Ivypaw pushed the fish away from her, tail waving. "You guys are better off going hunting together. Have a good time! And, don't worry, Lithepaw - I know for sure I'm way worse than you." She remarked, smiling, her head tilted. Her eyes weren't nearly as bright and shiny as before, however, at the mention of Blackfur, Rookpaw's lost mentor.

—For the first time ever, Rookpaw managed a sympathetic smile. "I'm surely not the only good hunter here?" he mewed in surprise, and looked at Lithepaw. "Well, I'm sure that what you lack, you make up for in fighting. And you," he turned to Ivypaw. "You make up for it in healing skill, yes?" They had other skills; he wasn't too bad at fighting, but the only herb he knew was poppy seeds.

—"Of course I'm better at healing than anything else - I am the medicine cat apprentice! But I certainly suck in every single other aspect." Ivypaw almost recited matter-of-factly, but her tone and eyes were distant, in some faraway land. She pawed at the ground, thinking back to her kithood. It wasn't too colourful and joyful. In fact, it hardly was.

—"I could say the same for warriors! Where would we be without sufficient prey and cats able to defend us properly? Dead, that's where." Ivypaw replied heatedly, feeling a blush creep up towards her face. "Anyway, I'm sure a cat or two could learn the ways of herbs soon enough if there were no specialists around." She meowed, pawing at the ground.
